It seems you missed my point:
**********
You need to run the task under a local account with admin privileges (e.g.
"schedule").

This works - guaranteed! If you cannot get it to work then please post the

- The exact command line you use in the Task Scheduler.
- The name of the local account you use to run the scheduled job.
- The group memberships of this account. The command "net user xxx" will
tell you (replace xxx with the actual account name)
